Why is it so difficult for F1 drivers to say they’re sorry?
Red Bull boss Christian Horner clarified that Max Verstappen has apologized for driving into George Russell during the Spanish GP, though Verstappen’s apology seemed to lack clarity. Verstappen vaguely acknowledged the incident but stopped short of a full apology, making it appear like a ‘sorry-not-sorry’ statement. Horner made it explicit that Verstappen apologized in the debrief. This case of reluctance to apologize mirrors past incidents in F1, such as Sebastian Vettel’s delayed apology to Lewis Hamilton. Some drivers, like Hamilton and Russell, readily apologize for their mistakes, illustrating different approaches to accountability in the sport.
